Lime and coconut reminds me of summer, the beach, the ocean, and drinks with little umbrellas. So while I was thinking of drinks, I pulled out the tequila our friends brought us back from Mexico. Tequila and lime play well together, so why not have a little fun.
I found some Campfire Key Lime Mallow Bursts at Walmart that I have been dying to use. I did not find any key limes at the grocery store however. So I just bought whatever limes I found.
Since I didn't add a lot of tequila in the treats, I added some more to the topping. And it made the marshmallow fluff more spreadable.

- 2-3 drops of green food coloring gel

Instructions
For the treats
In a large sauce pan, melt butter and marshmallows over low heat. Stir until completely melted.
Remove from heat and add lime juice, lime zest, and tequila. Stir until completely mixed.
Then add the Rice Krispie cereal. Mix until all is well incorporated. Then add food coloring gel if desired. Stir until completely colored.
Then pour the mixture into a greased 9 x 13 pan or a cookie sheet and spread it evenly with a piece of waxed paper.
Place in fridge to cool and set.
For the topping
In a small bowl combine the marshmallow fluff and tequila until completely mixed.
Spread the fluff mixture over the top of the cooled treats.
Then evenly sprinkle shredded coconut on top, pressing down slightly with your hands or a piece of wax paper, so that the flakes adhere to the fluff.
Next, slice, eat and enjoy!
